asked the Minister of Food what quantities of rationed raw materials have been granted against permits during each of the last seven years to each of the following categories of catering establishments: commercial catering establishments, works canteens and hostels, school feeding centres, civic restaurants and staff dining rooms, showing the amount, separately, for quantities issued to new licensees in each year in each category.

I regret that information for the separate categories is not available for the years 1940–45, nor for any year in respect of quantities issued to new licensees. As the answer for the years 1946 and 1947 is rather detailed I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the information:
